Be a Kairix beta tester

Help make Kairix better for everyone who lives with chronic migraine, chronic pain or a long list of medicines.

It’s the better side of helping others. Every problem you find, and every idea you send, makes Kairix easier for the next person, on their worst day.

What a beta test is

Before an app comes out, a small group uses it in real life and says what works, what’s confusing and what breaks. That’s a beta test.

Kairix works on my phone, with my medicines and my days. A beta test shows how it works on yours: other phones, other medicines, other lives. What you find gets fixed before everyone else arrives.

Who can join

• Adults 18 and older in the US.
• With an Android phone or an iPhone. Testing is on Android now. iPhone testing, through Apple’s TestFlight app, comes next.
• You don’t need migraine. If you take medicines, live with chronic pain, or help someone with theirs, your testing helps.
• Spanish speakers are welcome. Reminders and their buttons, the widget, Quick migraine log and the beta terms are in Spanish now, and the rest is on the way, so your help with the Spanish counts. Esta página en español.

What happens to your sign-up email

It comes to me, the founder. I use your name and email only for your invite and test updates (or, on the launch list, for the one launch email). To send the test invite, I give your email to Google or Apple, and to no one else. Nothing is sold. Ask any time, and I’ll delete it.

How it works

1. Sign up. Tap Join the beta and send the email. Tell me your phone, and the email on your Google account or Apple ID if it’s different.
2. Get your invite. I’ll email you a link and the steps for your phone.
3. Install and agree. Kairix shows its short beta terms first. Tap I agree, and a quick tour follows.
4. Use it for real. Add your medicines, mark your doses, log a migraine or pain, and answer the evening check-in.
5. Tell me what you find. Problems, confusing spots and ideas, big or small. How is just below.
6. Get new versions. I’ll let you know when there’s a new test version. Updates keep your records, but a backup first is still a good idea.

Sending in problems and ideas

• In Kairix: tap your picture, then Report a problem or Suggest a feature. Or open More → About Kairix → Contact. It opens an email with your app version and phone filled in, so I can find the problem.
• After a crash, Kairix offers to send a report. It has no medicine names.
• On iPhone, TestFlight also lets you send a screenshot with a note: take a screenshot, then tap Share Beta Feedback.
• Or just write to support@kairixapp.com.

A good report says what you tapped, what you expected, and what happened. A screenshot helps. Turn off the app lock first, since it blocks screenshots.

Please leave out names, medicines and other health details, unless one is needed to show the problem. I read every message. Replies can take a few days, especially on bad days.

What being a tester means

• It’s a test version. Things may not work right. Keep your own medicine list too, or your pharmacy’s printout.
• It’s not medical advice. Warnings and label limits are drafts waiting for review. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you change anything.
• Reminders and battery savers. Some phones delay alerts to save battery. Allow “Alarms & reminders” for Kairix, and open it now and then.
• Your records stay on your phone. There’s no account, and I never see what you enter. Deleting the app deletes your records, except backups you saved. See the privacy policy.
• Keep the test version to yourself. Please don’t pass on the app or your invite link. Send friends to this page instead, so they get their own invite.
• Stop any time. Just delete the app. Tell me if you like, so I know.

Questions

How much time does it take?

A minute or two a day: mark your medicines as you take them, and answer the evening check-in, which takes about five seconds.

Can I test for someone I care for?

Yes. Add them under People, and keep their medicines on your phone. They don’t need the app.

Does anything cost money?

No. Nothing can be bought during testing.

When is launch?

Launch is planned for 2027. I’ll tell testers the date as soon as it’s set.
